Will Ronaldo leave Man Utd for Sporting return? Door left open for emotional homecoming by club director


Hugo Viana is ruling nothing out when it comes to a potentially stunning coup for the Portuguese outfit, but he admits a deal in 2022 is unlikely

Cristiano Ronaldo made a return to his spiritual home in rejoining Manchester United from Juventus in the summer of 2021, but a door is being left open for him to head back to his roots at Sporting.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner took his first tentative steps down a road to greatness when bursting onto the senior stage in Lisbon, with his undoubted potential spotted by Sir Alex Ferguson back in 2003.

After spending the best part of 20 years cementing a legacy as one of the finest talents to have ever played the game, speculation is building once again regarding a potential retracing of steps to where it all began.

Will Ronaldo return to Sporting?

Questions have been asked of how long Ronaldo will be sticking around at Old Trafford, with United enduring a testing 2021-22 campaign, but he does still have 12 months left to run on his contract.

That is making it difficult for Sporting to consider doing a deal at this stage, but club director Hugo Viana has told Sky Sports when quizzed on interest in the 37-year-old icon: “I think not now that will be possible, but you never know.

“I think he can decide where he can go, but we never know the future. I don’t want to talk a lot about that because I think when we talk about Cristiano it is quite different.

“I think he has one year more contract so whatever he decides, let’s see.”

Can Ronaldo still star for Man Utd?

For now, amid speculation linking him with Bayern Munich and Chelsea, Ronaldo remains tied to Premier League heavyweights that are crying out for inspiration from somewhere.

One of the greatest goalscorers of all-time found the target on 24 occasions for the Red Devils last season, with his own standards being maintained while many of those around him struggled for a spark.

Viana believes that Ronaldo still has plenty left in the tank, with there still a role for him to play in a new era for United under the guidance of incoming coach Erik ten Hag.

“It’s time for Man United to stabilise, create a good spirit inside of the club,” a man that spent time with Newcastle in his playing days added.

“With players like Cristiano of course, there is a player that scores 20, 25 goals for sure per season and it’s really important to have that kind of player in your team

Everyone get the tinfoil hats at the ready, because we've got a conspiracy unfolding before our very eyes. Atlético Madrid stalwart Saúl Ñíguez - who has previously been linked with Manchester United  as well as Arsenal - has teased an announcement over his future in just three days' time. The 25-year-old has been one of the standout midfielders in La Liga in recent seasons, and has been an ever-present of the Champions League campaign that saw  Atléti  stun  Liverpool  back in March. He has made close to 300 appearances for Los Rojiblancos, and with his contract not up until 2026, an exit has never seemed hugely likely, given his value to his boyhood club. It was a bit surprising, then, when a cryptic Tweet appeared on the player's official account, which reads: "New club. I'll announce it in three days."
